Julie McCarthy: Jewels Says

Jewels says one of the great things about an extended stay in Kelowna and being in Mamma Mia is the fabulous women she has met, one of whom is today's guest, Delphine Litke.Delphine is an actor, podcaster, a beautiful singer, a beautiful person, and one of Jewels' newest fun friends.Instagram: @jewelssaysemail: jewelssays@gmail.comEpisode References:Delphine's Instagram: @delphinesirenKelowna Community Theatre - this is where Mamma Mia is playingMamma Mia TicketsRock me Baby TicketsRocky Mountain High - an Evening with John Denver - TicketsBarb Samuel - Sista B and the BoysThe Tingle Podcast on SpotifyLee Holdridge and Lee on WikipediaKelowna Fringe

Jewels says even though the Canadian public health care system is better than nothing, and hospitalization probably won’t bankrupt you, it’s no day at the beach trying to get medical care for something relatively inconsequential. And she loves having a chin again.email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssaysEpisode References:Jewels Says: Renovation Reminiscing

Jewels says love is blind - well, she's obviously not the first person to say that, but she AGREES that love is blind. When you love someone, even if that someone is a dog, they look so beautiful to you. Plus a less than satisfying - but final - scam conclusion.email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssaysEpisode References:Jackie Pirico's Instagram: @jackiepirico

Jewels says JFL Montreal is BACK, even if on a small scale - mostly men though - and as pride month wraps up, the complainers might need to be reminded of what’s been happening to women’s reproductive rights that we’ve taken for granted, and if you don’t like what people post on social media, you are free to ignore it. We all make mistakes and life isn’t fair, so we might as well relaaaaax and let things that annoy us go rather than amplifying them.email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssaysEpisode References:Just for Laughs

Jewels says she felt a bit of the jewels jinx when she traveled to Kelowna, but is she being petty? Should you stand your ground when someone invades your space or just step aside and let them? Should you feel guilty for standing firm? Maybe the choice is to feel guilty or resentful. email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssaysEpisode References:Okanagan Valley, BCMamma Mia! in KelownaMuster Dogs on Netflix - Snoop's favourite

Jewels says the Ashley Madison documentary may be more layered than you might expect... it raises issues of hypocrisy, security, monogamy, marriage and has a few interesting characters. And whoever said dogs are just dumb animals has never truly known or loved a dog. Their personalities are as unique as ours in many ways, and her temporary charge, Snoop, is no exception. email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssaysEpisode References:Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies and ScandalWired.com: Ransomware Is More Brutal than EverKelowna Actors Studio: The ProducersSoulpepper Theatre: Age Is a FeelingHotdocs: Donate

Jewels says it would be nice not to care about looking old, but she's pretty happy to be back to looking like herself. Is that shallow? Maybe, but it's ok to appreciate the icing on a cake and still be grateful for everything else that really matters.email: jewelssays@gmail.comInstagram: @jewelssaysEpisode References:Dr. Dominic BrayHayley McGee Patric McGroarty - Saint Clarens RecordsJewels Sings: I'll Be Drunk for Christmas

Jewels chats with comedian Andrew Johnston on non-profit financial woes and grifters, some of the ups and downs of self made content and the importance of creative work in all our lives, stage time and relentlessly putting one creative step in front of the other for its own sake, even if - or especially if - you feel like you're in the deepest, darkest rut. Do it for yourself because the streamers pay a pittance.Plus Andrew's new album!
